Apprenda 4.0 will set the model for how to modernize existing
mission-critical enterprise applications and build new cloud architected
applications and services, extending its leadership in best-of-breed
support for Windows-based cloud environments.

Apprenda enterprises want hybrid cloud architectures. In 4.0, IT can
apply resource policies to infrastructure and applications in seconds,
moving them with a simple single-click feature across the boundaries
from private to public cloud or can set policies for doing so
automatically based on business needs and parameters.

“Hybrid cloud is helping traditional enterprises become more comfortable
with Net-based application development,” said James Governor, RedMonk
founding analyst. “Organizations want common tooling for deployment,
monitoring, security and management across public and private cloud;
Apprenda is targeting this deployment flexibility directly with its 4.0
release.”

Enterprises Easily Embrace Mobile, Other App Patterns

As enterprises extend their application portfolios to embrace mobile,
multi-tenant and other cloud application types, Apprenda extends its
market-leading developer cloud platform for deployment and management
with technology that helps keep the focus on product innovation. As a
best-of-breed platform for Windows Server and .NET, Apprenda 4.0 adds
support for all Windows and Visual Studio integration and extends
support for all of Microsoft’s latest releases, including .NET 4.5, SQL
Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012.

Developers increase productivity in building next generation cloud
architected applications and modernizing existing application portfolio
with minimal adjustment to code.

Apprenda 4.0 has best-in-class operation advancements in third-party
authorization and authentication systems designed to improve agility in
application deployment and deployment policies to implement governance,
risk management and compliance (GRC). With new System Center 2012
integration, Apprenda can run across multiple datacenters
(private/public/hosted) and yet be managed centrally.
